But not everyone needs access to the D&D marketing material. Adventurer's League adventures is content and material provided to support play in stores. It's advertising of the game, hence the public play restriction. It's the equivalent of cardboard standees, posters, and other promotional material. Do you feel unwelcome because WotC is not providing your gaming group with free posters?Very true. They were republished. After several years. The AL stuff has been out for just over a year. They're still being played in stores. It wouldn't do to have potential players be able to read the adventures and know what's coming.Things are also slightly different. There's an actual promotional budget. Back when the old tournament modules were republished the company was still new and looking for revenue streams. It might have been trying to re-appropriate existing content to make quick money, to keep the company afloat while they worked on the new books. Of course, there's also a wealth of 2nd Edition and later RPGA material that was never republished, including many tournament modules. The reprinting ceased early in the 1e era. To say nothing of the thousands of Living Greyhawk modules. Or even the WotC Free RPG Day stuff or other promotional adventures, such as the classic adventures updated to 4th Edition. It's pretty standard for WotC to not re-release that content.As a Ravenloft collector, I would kill to have access to some of the 2e Ravenloft tournament adventures, but these are lost to history now. I'm guessing you haven't seen an AL module. It's not exactly professional. It's not something people would be expected to pay money for. There's no art and the maps look like something you'd draw at home. It's hastily edited and typos are not uncommon, and there's limited polish and playtesting. They're good... for a free product. Not something they could sell.</blockquote>
